KidSafe SitesUCIS: The Ultimate Children's Internet Sites: Another huge list of Child safe internet sites! Yahooligans -- A nice search engine for kids ParentsPlace.com is one of several family sites on the Web that offer excellent ideas on how to fill the after-school hours. Most of the activities will cost you nothing more than your time. The suggestions presented by the Family Explorer require more imagination to implement, but are well worth the effort; perfect for all the little Edisons and Einsteins out there. For more ideas than you'll have time to try (at least this year), turn to Family Planet. This loaded site lists 365 TV-free activities and an additional 365 outdoor activities. The site's library offers a long list of recommended books (each with a detailed description) on games, projects, and activities for kids. For ideas straight from the source, join one of Family Planet's discussion groups on related subjects. There's one on latch-key kids with tips from other parents on how to keep your kids occupied, and another on managing extracurricular activities. If athletics seem like the way to go, but you're not sure which sport is the best for your child, duPont Hospital for Children offers several recommendations based on your child's physical and emotional strengths and weaknesses. Just because your kids aren't in school doesn't mean they have to stop learning (or having fun). The Family Education Network details several well-disguised and entertaining history, linguistic, and business lessons. Your kids won't realize they're becoming scholars until it's too late! But don't go overboard. Remember, after-school is a time to relax. And there's no better place to unwind than on the Internet. Family Surfboard's Children's Internet Activity Center features electronic follow-the-mouse scavenger hunts that will turn both you and your kids into online sleuths.
